Any bets on how long until this repo gets nuked?
Time to (a) fork it (b) stop using GitHub
And don’t just fork it on GitHub, if the original repo gets deleted, any forks might too.
Also do a
git clonelocally, or set up a mirror on another host.
I’ve got a backup of it, as others should too if they’ve got their own git forge https://git.ngram.ca/mirrors/lapd-face-search
Not long at all. Add criminal charges and extradition orders by LA prosecutors against the devs for good measure.
considering all the protest cops shooting rubber bullets at civilians wear masks, i dont think thisll work on them
Record them anyway. There’ll be more ways to de-anonymize them in the future.
China demoed tech that can recognize people based on the gait of their walk. Mask or not. This would be a really interesting topic if it wasn’t so scary.
I like it.
I like the idea, but it won’t work when the vast majority are already covering their faces, and this will probably be used to further justify covering their faces.
